Thomas Sargent, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC

I am originally from Alabama and bring over a decade of experience in the nursing field. I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice at the University of Texas in 2024.

My clinical focus has been on enhancing access to compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care in underserved communities. Before joining the faculty at TCU, I served as a mental health provider in a large county hospital, where I spearheaded several quality improvement initiatives, including workplace violence prevention and increasing access to substance use treatment.

This marks my first full-time position in academia, and I am eager to teach behavioral health and assist in incorporating topics such as mental health, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care throughout the nursing curriculum.

Beyond my professional life, I enjoy playing tennis, watching films, traveling, and, above all, spending time with my wife and our children, Parker and Lennyx.
